Crazy Eights Are Good
Level 15
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 110,000 from middle position. Zachary Grech and Brian Rast, seated elbow-to-elbow to Lonis' left, each made the call.
The flop hit 8♣8♠Q♣. Lonis and Grech both checked. Rast bet 135,000. Only Grech continued.
The turn brought the A♦, and a check-check.
When the 5♥ landed on the river, Grech casually placed a bet of 175,000 on the table. Rast called.
Grech turned over two red eights 8♦8♥ to show he had flopped four-of-a-kind.
"That's good," Rast said. "Yeah, that's good."
